Floodgate's Focus on 'Human-Centric' AI and Ethics

Through her firm Floodgate, Miura-Ko has emphasized the need for ethical frameworks in AI development, often aligning with regulatory perspectives that the MAGA movement (and figures like Elon Musk) sometimes characterize as 'stifling innovation' or 'woke AI'.

Notes: Discussion on 'Ethics in Venture Capital' podcast.

Agent rationale

The push for AI safety and ethical guardrails is a point of contention; MAGA-aligned tech figures often advocate for 'accelerationism' with fewer regulations, making her stance a moderate anti-MAGA signal in the tech policy space.
